As the main TWIM army was duking it out at the Washington State Senior Games on Sunday, our two newest members, Holly Lickwala and Brent Barnes, carried the TWIM Banner to Mt. Hood Community College in the quaint little hamlet of Gresham, Oregon and scored a spectacular and sizzling success with a mighty armada of two!
The venue was the time honored Gil Young Memorial Meet which occurs every year down there and offers an opportunity for great Long Course swimming.
Holly and Brent took full advantage of this moment and swam a jaw-dropping schedule of events that would kill most normal people, but they’re not normal, they’re TWIM!
Holly took on the 400 Meter IM on her first day, which is usually a near-death experience for most of us, but if you see the attached photo of her butterfly in that race you will be swept away by the beauty of it! It looks so easy, doesn’t it? She went on to burn up the water in the 100 Breast, 100 Free and 50 Fly!
Brent turned out to be the real slacker here. He only swam the 400 Free, the 800 Free , the 200 Breast and then the 100 Breast, the 100 Free and the 50 Fly for good measure, just in case he hadn’t suffered enough already!
And we’re talking all very fast swims here and lots of medals for both TWIMWarriors! Congratulations to Holly and Brent! They did it the TWIM Way!
